The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

You are a smart man

ThierryJay:
Dont underestimate lockdown season. It has the highest engagement ever on BBN Nairaland with 11thousand pages. Pepperdem engagement for all it's interesting tag was far behind at 8 thousand pages.

Lockdown took the national interest in BBN to an all time high and the most remarkable thing was that the interest level did not wane even into the final weeks. During lockdown, you leave this thread for 3 hours and when you come back there are already a hundred pages for you catch up.

Lockdown had strong smart confident personalities that sustained its interest. Laycon, Kidd, Ozo, Erica, Prince, Nengi, Neo, Dora, Trickytee. The competitiveness was outstanding. I'd say the lockdown set were the best in terms of quality of task performance. I remember Neo's flawless rendition of of the Suits series or Kidd's impressive acting of Power series, or Vee's hosting presentation or Ozo's sports broadcasting.

Today, these guys are still shining based on their talent. Laycon for all his supposed struggles is still the most accomplished BB9ja musician till date. Ozo is doing super well on Supersports. Vee is a regular presenter on shows. Erica and Nengi are successful ambassadors for brands.

All because of the pandemic there was nothing spectacular about it and the fact that the season was not competitive with lots of bandwagons joining is enough to know it wasn't all spectacular

Oshokhai69:
Wetin you go come use the result do after show end?

E concern you

Sweetpink:
I prefer lockdown to pepper dem

Taah

Because of Erica abi

Sweetpink:
Lol
Lockdown was terrific because the organizers selected housemates with unique characters and I doubt if we’ll ever have great characters like that again.
Last season was a flop,asides Maria,Pere,Angel and crosst that gave us contents…that’s why they had to come up with so many twists to spice up the dead show!

Lockdown was average abeg, terrific ke season when pandemic help.
Pepperdem beat Lockdown to stupour I don't even know why Lockdown is a yardstick is Double Wahala and Pepperdem a joke to una?

One sauce say Phyna topped.
Another sauce said it was Bryann.

Biko make show end make I see results for myself I don tire for sauces here and there.

Different sauces dey fly for SM.

Is it my Harry & Meghan you've been dissing upandan like this? The same way you like Phyna of BBN is the same way I feel about Harry and Meghan. I'm not voting Phyna again ooo.

I didn't watch the interview with Oprah please give me the summary and highlights of it. On a different note you're just a bush girl for not liking PDA, it's one of the sweetest things ever, especially when it's given and received unexpectedly and unsolicited.

That's two strikes against you already, for not liking my couple and dissing PDA too.

I am on my knees ma please vote for Phyna oo.

I am on my knees

I take back everything I said

Safarigirl was right oo.

Bella is truly a patriachy princess.

Luak:
I want you to read up the Aburi accord

I stumbled across it years back I will revisit it and get back to you

Gemma11:
Uju Anya is indeed an awful disgusting individual. She even used a derogatory work A***ta to refer to African Americans. I am surprised that she still has a job.

Imagine

folake4u:
Omo. It has been confirmed he's been cheating oh. I've seen it several times on UK blogs, even although the British family tried suppressing the media from revealing such scandal.
Even Catherine get her own for body too.

Hmmm. I didn't listen to their interview with Oprah but I do know that Harry and Meghan have suffered enough blacklash from the royal family a lot, plus those racist remarks on Meghan all the time.

Catherine na patriarchy princess sha anything for the title. Eyah like Charles like William but who confirmed the cheating?
Harry and Meghan are not victims abeg the Royal family only failed to defend Meghan from the racist/obsessive tabloids whatever backlash they are suffering they brought upon themselves.

Go and watch the interview with Oprah if dem embarrass your family like that you go like am? Harry and Meghan messed up with that interview some clips are on Youtube

wirinet:
You know the black man especially igbo nationalists are expert at playing the victimisation card. They must look for someone to blame other than themselves for their failings and wrong choices. If it's not witches, wizzards, mother in laws, step mothers, etc for their personal failings, it will be Nigeria, Awolowo, Fulani, Britain, Queen Elizabeth, France, Obama, USA, etc for their collective failings.

The painful thing is that the Biafran war started because some people from one region went to kill some leaders from a particular region even Azikiwe was against Biafra.

2elliot:
If Putin dies today, people like you will celebrate, because the west media tells you to hate him. You all jubilated when Osama Bin Ladin was killed. But the queen who benefits from our direct sorrows should not be insulted. Black man and his mental slavery

And your point is what exactly?
Did Elizabeth imprison or colonise you?
The hate Russia or Putin is getting is the result of the direct consequences of what he is doing in Ukraine even though we know the terror Stalin and Lenin were and how the USSR came about the world has moved on from that and will not curse any descendant of Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and others.
The world will never forget Germany's role in World war two or what the USA did to the Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki but today is the USA and Japan, not friends.
Under Elizabeth she saw to the decolonisation of Africa so why should she be blamed for the sins of her fathers if that is the case let the Japanese still hate Americans for Hiroshima and Nagasaki and other crimes in history too.
Besides the British monarchy is not in charge of the government so they cannot be directly linked to it even though they benefitted from colonialism as per figurehead and prestige.
Do you think say na only the British colonise the world? The Spaniards, Portuguese, Belgians and the rest or have the immigrants in America left the land for the native Americans to date? since we want to dig up old wounds.
History is interesting and if you read it everybody is a criminal did black people not sell their fellow blacks as slaves to the abroad too

Any recent controversies surrounding the Royal family, especially in regards to race were started by Harry and Meghan.

I am a black woman I will never defend racism whether black or white but make we dey talk true.

Before Harry could marry Meghan he took permission from the Queen he was 6th in line to the throne then and by law, the first 6 persons in line must take permission from the monarch before marrying anybody.

Do you think if they were racist dem for allow Harry marry Meghan you think they did not know that their children will be bi-racial? So where did the colour of the skin question come from?
Another reason I don't rate Meghan or both of them is because Meghan has issues with her father and step-siblings she married Harry and he had issues with his own family. I watched the Royal wedding in 2018 from beginning to end and I saw how loved and popular she was there people were even celebrating the idea of a feminist, black and accomplished woman being a part of the monarchy only for her to trash their monarchy that they hold dear are you watching Elizabeth's funeral and how it is being covered see crowds when dey pay their respect to the Queen as her coffin is passing through Edinburgh the same Scotland noisemakers say will leave the UK. Lol.
The problem with most Brits against Harry and Meghan is that they trashed them and called them racist and haters have exploited it to show their hate for the monarchy people like Uju Anya and co. It reminds me of an episode on Jimmy Kimmel's show where he mocked the two of them that imagine leaving the UK for America because they are running away from racism, it's the irony I can tell you for free that there are more racists in the United States than the United Kingdom the racist in Europe are usually from Eastern Europe anyway
That said are there racists in the UK? Yes, there are a lot, is the British media against Meghan or do they hate her and love to cause controversy with her and Catherine yes they do. Is the Daily Mail terrible? Yes, they are terrible it is a hate tabloid not a paper for serious people. Should the royal family have done more to protect Meghan from the British media? Yes, they may not like her but it's likely not because of her skin colour either.

Did Harry and Meghan mess up with that Oprah Winfrey interview? Yes, they did what was that for anyway?

folake4u:
@the bolded. Normal levels oh

Na before sha, nor be now again.

Hehehe. Funny enough, that William and Catherine,I nor like them at all. Especially with all the controversies surrounding them.

I prefer them to Harry and Meghan I don't know why although rumours dey say William cheated it hasn't been confirmed anyway.
My problem with Harry and Meghan is how they threw the family under the bus.
Maybe it's because I value family a lot so knowing that my family in this case the royal family is on life support and there are people who want a republic and will want to exploit any situation in the monarchy to prove a point doing a tell all with Oprah and implying your family is racist is crazy.
They knew they made a blunder with the colour of his skin remark that was why they clarified it wasn't the late Queen or her late husband and refused to tell who said it.
I know people will disagree with me but you see that interview ehn it was unnecessary and since then I nor dey rate them it has been since then the accusations of them being racist started it has been fueled by those who want to exploit the situation and do not want a monarchy.

BRATISLAVA:
Really.

Her intelligence stops at her education, it doesn't extend to wisdom. She's too bitter and angry. Not a good look. The language stunt is to water down her persona.

The good thing is that her outbursts are only for dead people. That way there won't be more bitterness sown in her wake.

The thing is that I have no problem with her statement although I think her defence statement was not the complete truth of the Biafran war my problem is the excruciating pain and death part so tasteless and uncalled for

Nozino:
Kindly desist from quoting me. Do you know me from anywhere? Do you know what I know? I’m telling you Phyna beat Brayn black and blue and the scores aren’t close and you’re being intentionally daft.

Don’t quote me again.

Nor dey shalaye abeg you know fire

folake4u:
Lol. I think when I was younger,I liked PDA. I once kissed someone in front of my University and grabbed his ass.

Now, I'm no longer a fan. I don wicked.
But yeah,I admire people who do such. Especially the Obamas, Prince Harry and Meghan.

Ashewo dey your eye since.

PDA ko, I remember embarrasing one dude in public that wanted to embrace me for school then.

Just a simple hug oo I turn I am shy when it comes to matters of the heart I cannot do PDA was never a fan and never will be.

So in public my partner and I will just be like William and Catherine, the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Magnoliaa:
I have watched bits of their clips, and I am liking what I see already . But I want to calm down and enjoy it very well before I come with a detailed review. But pending that..........what do you think of Harry and Meghan's PDA?

I know, I know nobody knows them or their private lives, plus, that was how Korra and her oyinbo ex-lover too been dey do until they carried us and handicapped.

But outside all of that sha, if PDAs are any indication of the sweetness and strength of a relationship, my God, Harry and Meghan are goals. On par with the Obamas.

I'm fawning over their pictures like crazy. 100% of the time, they are always so into each other and touching, you could almost feel the bond between them.

Folake4u, what do you also think?

I will shut up before they call me badbelle

PDA for inside mourning period abeg.

And Meghan had balls to come back sha.

If na me I go hide stay for Cali

Nah not a fan of Harry and Meghan for what they did to family that is my grouse with them so those sympathies they get from people who want the monarchy gone is one of the reasons why I don't rate them. It's not hate but if I were family that interview with Oprah will be unforgettable

BRATISLAVA:
Such a bitter and vengeful person can't be the UN sec general.

I am telling you

I even found out that her bitterness did not start with the late Queen she came for TB Joshua and a lot of people too.
That is not how to talk particularly for an academician.

Samueltemi337:
Yeah eloswag came second
the percentage was really close
but I see dotun winning this season

Wahalur

Nozino:
Let them evict 5 people. Shikena

Then Phyna goes home.

All mouth no action.

Mtcheww

Nozino:
Oga, your reverse psychology won’t work. Why are you so hell bent on trying to convince me to accept what isn’t true? I want 5 people evicted shikena.

They should evict 5 so that Phyna goes home abi?
Don't go and be looking for more IUC numbers and devices be here making noise online.
Let them evict 5 na so that all of us will stan Hermes,Bryann and the rest.

Better put your mouth in action and ensure Phyna wins. You yourself are you seeing the results to know if it is true or not? You think it is by SM noise na votes dey count for deloitte threebear could ve right or wrong but as a Phyna fan be honest with yourself her win is not certain it is by votes and not noise on social media so you should do more because many people dey when nor want her to smell that money and are preparing for finale so you too prepare yourself.

Sanqa:
I see phyna and chizzy. Or her with bella to punish them

She and Chizzy answered the eviction question well it may be the two of them that may be fake evicted.

majamajic:
First president of nigeria is Nnamdi azikiwe , why shagari as the answer ?

Shagari was elected. Azikiwe was not and it was ceremonial. The question is confusing they should have appropriately stated it because I would have answered same too

Yorubanza:
so when is the right time? 10 years after her death? ...and she probably would have travelled to the UK to make the statement instead of the US where she lives and works, not so?

Ekuke

You are the Ekuke here.
Keep quiet someone was on her death bed and you think it's appropriate to have tweeted such common get lost.

MamBi:
Shegzz, Bella and Doyin are in the garden talking about potential winners…

Doyin said if she could convince viewers, she would want Allysun or Daniella to win because Allysun is free spirited and Daniella is very intelligent, well spoken and well behaved. Either of this two because she really wants a woman to win.

Bella says what about her and Doyin said she would like to see her in the finals but wants viewers to stop rewarding rudeness and toxic beahaviour.

Segun says he prefers people who will carry the brand after the show so if not his babe Bella then he would prefer Chi Chi or Chomzy. Doyin said there is no one there that can’t carry the brand unless she does not understand what Shegzz means. After more definition of what he meant, Doyin then said in that case, it should be Phyna as she represents what Shegzz means more than those he had mentioned.

Talking about guys, Doyin said Hermes because he is a good game player and is not abrasive. She says he is bold and upfront and is not scared of anyone. She also commends Eloswag saying he has a lot of character.

I left but came back briefly to hear Shegzz saying people clash with him for clout and Doyin disagreed with this. She said Shegzz is usually rude to people and this is what they react to. That they are not reacting because of who he is or not…

I left shortly after this so I don’t know if the convo continued..

Thank you

MamBi:
Hahaha, if we are going with your definition, then Phyna is the person….

So glad I watched this…

What's going on I am currently not watching.

Beorn:
Your opinion is not unpopular or wrong. I can't argue or fault your opinion because different people will pick different seasons as the one they enjoyed the most. Your opinion is as valid as other people that would pick different seasons as their best.


I was just focused on the number of views which is the highest during Lockdown because of the pandemic, not because it's the most entertaining. My best BBN remains the undisputed Pepper Dem.

Thank you and I share the same favourite too. Pepperdem, this season and doublewahala for me. I said that because of the hype around lockdown that I see on twitter and I am like nor be the same lockdown I watch too it wasn't exceptional or entertaining to me or maybe some of the people hyping it did not watch the previous seaons hence the hype around it.

Conrod:
If you cant arrest them,then ,like uju have demonstrated...SPEAK OUT.

You are confused you are the one making allegations you cannnot directly prove and I am telling you that by making that argument you would also have to hold other races that were colonisers responsible too. It was not just the British that colonised many countries

safarigirl:
You're one of few people to point out the only difference between LD and other seasons


It was a pandemic. The whole world was at home, everyone watched the show. People did not have to go to work. That is 80% the reason why it is so popular, not because the entertainment was exceptional.

Social media peaked then, TikTok blew up exponentially. There was literally nothing else going on, so, it is not farfetched why Lockdown had so much attention.

And I thought my opinion was unpopular it seems some people agree with me.
